Review of Amityville Horror: The Evil Escapes

I never really got into any of the Amityville movies with the exception of the original, but I kind of enjoyed this one in a silly, campy way. I mean, how scary can a lamp be? But Patty Duke is an excellent actress,and she adds strength to any role she is in. She is a woman, recently widowed who moves back home to Mommy Dearest, played by Jane Wyatt, who in "Father know best" was always nice, here old Janie is mean, seemingly annoyed at having to help out her daughter and 3 kids. The evil of Amityville somehow has manifested itself in a floor lamp, yep you heard me right, a floor lamp, and when Granny Grump gets the lamp from her sister who bought it at a garage sale (does any of this make sense?) all hell breaks loose in the house. There are some scary moments, and some unintentionally funny moments, but overall it is worth a look. I love the scene when the grandson picks up a chainsaw and hacks up Granny's preserves....this is scary stuff, let me tell ya!!!!
